Chapter 2183: Extraordinary

Regarding the matter of going to the United States, although Ma Lan had already decided in her heart, she didn't know how to bring it up to Ye Chen and Xiao Churan for a while.

Of course, she didn't dare to say directly that she had spent all her money, had no money to live on now, and just happened to win a grand prize that allowed her to fly to the United States for free, so she was flying over to rely on her daughter and son-in-law.

So, she made up her mind to first find her daughter, Xiao Churan, and play the victim.

However, it was already 2:00 AM in the United States at this time. Ma Lan hesitated for a moment, but still decided to wait until it was evening in China and morning in the United States to video call Xiao Churan.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen, who was in the United States, after confirming that Xiao Churan was fast asleep, channeled a bit of spiritual energy into Xiao Churan's brain to ensure she could sleep more soundly, then got up, got dressed, and left the Buckingham Hotel.

He was going to meet the man whose hands and feet he had severed.

To probe what the other party's identity really was.

At the hotel entrance in the middle of the night, a low-key black Cadillac had been waiting there for a long time.

Wan Pojun was sitting alone in the driver's seat. Seeing Ye Chen come out, he prepared to push the door and get out to open the door for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen waved his hand at him, quickened his pace, pulled open the front passenger door, and sat directly inside.

As soon as he got in the car, Ye Chen asked, "How is that guy doing?"

Wan Pojun replied respectfully, "Back to Master Ye, that person has been safely controlled, with someone watching him at all times. To ensure absolute safety, I had all his teeth pulled out. He has no hands or feet, so suicide is impossible."

"Good." Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and asked again, "When dealing with the bodies of those bandits, did you find anything?"

"Yes." Wan Pojun said, "We checked roughly, and there are a few points to report to you."

As he spoke, Wan Pojun paused slightly and continued, "First is their weapons and equipment, which are very advanced. The cost of individual equipment is several times more expensive than the individual equipment of the US Special Forces. Moreover, this group of people uses special Dum-Dum bullets. When the bullets hit the human body, they produce a powerful cavitation effect, creating a hole with every shot. The key is that these bastards specifically increased the amount of gunpowder in the bullets, raising the power of the bullets to another level."

"With this kind of bullet power, it's already amazing for an eight-star martial artist to withstand dozens of rounds. A normal person, even at the level of boxing champion Mike Tyson or Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, would definitely be killed by a single shot."

Speaking of this, Wan Pojun continued, "Secondly, although these people are not martial artists, they seem to have undergone physical enhancement through some means. If nothing else, their limb strength is very strong, truly extraordinary!"

Ye Chen asked curiously, "How did you discover that their limb strength is very strong? When I faced them, I didn't find that they had any cultivation, nor did I find anything special about them."

Wan Pojun said, "Judging from the gunpowder amount of their bullets, when fired, the recoil of the gun becomes very large. That kind of recoil is comparable to a large-caliber sniper rifle. In this case, even well-trained special forces must lie on the ground and use their shoulders to firmly resist the butt of the gun to counter that recoil. If they stand up and fire while holding the gun, it's generally impossible to suppress the muzzle. One shot would numb both arms, and continuous firing while holding the gun is even more impossible. But they could stand and quickly empty the entire magazine, proving that their physical strength is extraordinary."

"Moreover, my people reported that their flesh and bones are much stronger than ordinary people, even comparable to martial arts experts. Because their meridians are not opened, they rely entirely on the strength of their flesh and bones to improve their combat effectiveness."

As he spoke, Wan Pojun added, "I suspect they must have other ways to significantly improve the physical fitness of these bandits. After all, this intensity of continuous shooting is difficult for even a three-star martial artist to stabilize. They can quickly finish the entire magazine without changing their expression, so their strength is at least that of a four-star martial artist."

Ye Chen couldn't help but frown and said coldly, "This group of people is well-armed, well-trained, and methodical and well-prepared when facing martial arts experts. Even if they are not martial arts practitioners, they must have a very deep understanding of martial arts experts, knowing where the weaknesses of martial arts experts lie, and then formulating targeted tactics."

"Yes!" Wan Pojun said seriously, "No matter what organization they belong to, their method of significantly improving the physical fitness of ordinary people is truly terrifying. Although there are tens of thousands of mercenaries under the Wanlong Palace, only a few hundred have the aptitude to practice martial arts. The rest simply don't have this qualification. And among these few hundred, most will never reach the height of a three-star martial artist in their lifetime. Yet this group of people can use unknown methods to raise ordinary people to this level. If they can achieve large-scale coverage, their strength is absolutely not to be underestimated!"

Ye Chen frowned subconsciously and said, "I have never heard of this kind of method targeting ordinary people..."

As he spoke, Ye Chen asked him, "Have you heard of it?"

"Back to Master Ye, the subordinate has not either." Wan Pojun said, "I know that there are also some martial arts practitioners who have joined some mercenary groups, but today's situation is the first time I've encountered it. There are currently no direct clues. However, before processing those bodies, I have already had them collect faces, fingerprints, and DNA. When the time comes, I will find a way to compare them in databases around the world, starting with the identities of these people. As long as the identity of one member is determined, more clues can be dug out." ===== CHAPTER 2184 =====
